Then GWB should officially retract that statement as being erroneous. Too many US citizens have been deceived by that presidential proclamation.
You are probably correct. However, it appears, and I think he is wrong on this, that former presidents do not interfere with current presidents.
I get he respects the OFFICE of the president, as I do as well, I can not see anyone respecting the man himself.
If I could wave a wand and make GW Bush say something I would but I can’t.
